Why am I going to vote for Correa represented by Arauz?

Because the government of Rafael Correa, his mentor, was the government that created the most jobs in the history of Ecuador.

I ran a Foundation dedicated to tourism, health and the environment through the work of international volunteers, who were backpakers who came from all over the world, to learn or practice Spanish, and went to indigenous or peasant communities throughout Ecuador, in Galápagos, the Pacific, the Andes and the Amazon, where they promoted health, environmental protection, protection of their own culture, encouraged ecotourism by teaching English to farmers, collecting photos, and publishing information about attractions and saving ancestral knowledge, rituals and customs.

This was possible, because due to the great bank failure of Ecuador, and the unstoppable inflation, the country became one of the cheapest countries in the world, and together with Guatemala and Bolivia, they became the main places in America, to learn Spanish. .

But in 2008 there was a real estate bankruptcy and the consequent economic depression, there was a wave of unemployment, which hit North America, Europe and the other developed countries hard.

This also hit the backpakers, and they no longer had jobs that would allow them to save 6 months, to travel six months around the world, and the generation of backpakers began to disappear.

In this situation, I could no longer work with the Foundation, its volunteers and communities, but I could establish relationships between the foundation, with the places where I can work as a doctor. But luckily the government of Rafael Correa arrived and created the Basic Health Teams program, which employed thousands of doctors, nurses and assistants. to do health visiting house to house, and I did it in the conflictive northern border, in the province of Carchi, where the Colombian migratory wave was experienced due to the conflict that was fought in that country between the FRAC, the AUC and the Colombian army.

  This program was the backbone of the Manuela Espejo program, which was directed by Vice President Lenin Moreno to find and help the disabled in the country, which helped 14,000 Ecuadorians.

He also created the public media, which allowed me to win a contest. called Mírame Ecuador, which attracted media producers to produce a television series and was able to produce the series Salud y Vida en la Mitad del mundo. which focuses on the history and geography of the health of the nationalities and ethnic groups of Ecuador, but also, my daughter was able to win a scholarship along with 20,000 other Ecuadorian students, to study in one of the 100 best universities in the world.

 Finally I was able to work in the Campesino Social Security, which multiplied the dispensaries and affiliates to more than one million campesinos. I had the opportunity to be the first doctor in a dispensary specialized in fishermen, who had other working hours, since they went out at night to fish and the dispensary worked from 11 am. at 7pm. When I worked in the Galera San Francisco Marine Reserve, I helped protect the sea and the last coastal tropical forest of Ecuador, more than its inhabitants.

In that area, Correa created the most spectacular network of asphalt roads, the towns had schools and millennium colleges, dispensaries, hospitals and modernized substation, an early warning system against tsunamis and earthquakes that were implemented after the terrible earthquake of April 16, 2016, of magnitude 7.9 that destroyed everything in its path along 700 km in Esmeraldas and Manabí and had 3,500 aftershocks for 9 months, killing more than 700 people. At that time, as a doctor in the disaster area, I was able to see new houses being built for those affected. They were anti-seismic, made of concrete and they were made one a day and houses were given to thousands of injured people, already before and more after the earthquake.

It was extraordinary to see how the towns had asphalt roads, and well signposted, bridges that seemed impossible, like the one over the Esmeraldas River, in Bahía de Caráquez or in the Amazon, and the towns had uninterrupted electricity, drinking water, internet, early warning system, UPC or police stations, a network of information and emergency help 91, ambulances, it was a true revolution. more visible in the fields than anywhere, because of places that moved on horseback and there were no books, Whats App, Google, YouTube, cell phones, satellite TV, motorcycles and tricycles everywhere, or fishermen with powerful engines abounded and GPS.

The Campesino Social Security modernized its dispensaries, which were always well stocked with medicine, patients could go to the IESS hospitals for examinations and be hospitalized if they were complicated, but they also received a modest but tremendously important retirement pension to pay for the basic services of their retired.
